Miguel Oliveira and Marc Marquez set for reunion at scene of ‘race ban’ claim
Miguel Oliveira lays out 2024 target as he returns to scene of Marc Marqu✨ez incident

For 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, returning to Portimao this෴ wee꧅kend is a reminder of last year’s massive smash.
At the first round of 2023, Oliveira was dramatically wiped out of his home Portuguese MotoGP by a reckless Marquez whose troubles🐈 on his 𓆏under-performing Honda were getting worse.
Marquez caused himself a hand 𝕴injury, and O🐻liveira a hip injury. Jorge Martin also emerged with a knock.
Aleix Espargaro raged at Marquez afterwards: “For me, they have to ban him for one race, minimum🌊.
“I don’t 🍰make the rules. I just hope Miguel is good. The speed🏅 he was hit at can destroy your knee.”
Marquez and Repsol Honda were them embroiled in a messy kerfuffle over a double long lap penalty that heཧ was hit with.
The wording of the punishment stipulated that it was to be served specifically at the next round in Argentina, which M🉐arquez missed anyway due to injury.
When𝔉 the FIM Stewards tried to re-word the penalty to be applied at Marquez’s comeback, Honda were successful in appealing it𓆏, and no punishment was served.
Marquez would not complete a grand prix until the 10th ro♛und last year, due to the injury sustained at Portimao plus more crashes.
Oliveira’s season was also hindered by the physicalᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ toll of their crash.
Oliveira returns home to Portugal to race for the ꦛfirst time๊ since that incident this weekend.
After starting the season ওwith a P15 finish in Qatar, Oliveira was quoted by&෴nbsp;: "Without that penalty that I served on Sunday in Qatar, I think the result would have been different.
“I see myself capable of ꦰdoing better in Portugal. I꧙t is my favourite circuit.
“It is more natural for me to ride fast in🐬 Portimao.”
The Trackhouse rider expects a very different Marquez to💎 return to P🥂ortimao, no longer battling against his own machinery.
"I have seen Marc, with the Ducati, doඣing very well,” Oliveira♒ said.
“Maybe he held﷽ back a little becau♕se I think he wanted to start with a more solid result.
“I already expected it, the speed.”
"After last year I had, I would like to get on the podium aga꧅in and win a race, that would make me very happy,"
Oliveira, of course, won the Portuguese Mot🍌oGP four years ago, a historic t𝓀riumph on home turf.
But last year’s big crasღh set 𒈔the tone for an underwhelming season.
"After the last year I had, I would like to get on the pod𒅌ium again and win a race,” Oliveira declared.
“That would make me very happy.”
